Regenerating Heads!

Some of the serpulids use transverse fission of the body as quite normal
manner of reproduction, e.g. species of the genera Filograna and Salmacina. I
presume (but can't check, loaned my last copy to a student) we said something
about it in : Kupriyanova, E.K. & E. Nishi & H.A. ten Hove & A.V. Rzhavsky,
2001.- Life-history patterns in serpulimorph polychaetes: ecological and
evolutionary perspectives. Oceanogr. Mar. Biol. Ann. Rev. 39: 1-101, 14 figs,
2
tabs.
At least we will give references where to find details.

the funds?
Now you have a chance if you apply for a grant from SYNTHESYS, funded by
the European Commission.
If you are a resident of an EU country or an EU aspirant member state, look at
the link on the ZMA homepage, or visit the website: http://www.synthesys.info/
The museum is distributed over several buildings, all close to Artis Zoo.
